This list covers the many different types of knives and blades (from penknives to bolos to shivs) to materials and cutting techniques. We’ve tried to stay away from puns and wordplay that only have violent meanings (like those involving butcher or hunting knives), but have included those that have multiple interpretations (like carve or stab). We hope you find some nice knife puns in this list!
